Dave Chappelle fans walk out after he blasts Israel’s ‘war crimes’ in Gaza, pro-Palestinians losing job offers: reportSen. Marsha Blackburn and a group of her fellow Republicans are trying to stop further US funding to a UN group in the Gaza Strip whose personnel have incited violence against Jewish people — after the Biden administrationfor students in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank, as well as ignoring terrorist activities at its facilities.
UNRWA has employed educators who “regularly call to murder Jews” and teach from textbooks “that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism,” according to a March report by the non-governmental organization UN Watch and the Israeli non-profit Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education.
“One would think that he would have kept in place the things that Trump had put in place that were actually working on the global stage,” Blackburn also told The Post. “Not only did he go back to funding them after Trump had stopped that money, he has upped that money.”Falling on the 50-year anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Hamas’ massacre was also the worst attack on Israel in its 75-year history, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare war.
In a Thursday night Oval Office address, Biden called on Congress to pass $14 billion in emergency funding for Israel amid its war with Hamas, along with $60 billion in assistance for Ukraine as the Russian invasion of that country nears its two-year anniversary. “He didn’t go after them for being the largest state sponsor of terrorism,” she went on. “He didn’t call out Hamas and Hezbollah and these terrorist organizations that are proxies of Iran.”
She emphasized that the members were looking “to build bipartisan support” for the bill, as well as for increased aid to Israel.
